#1 "It's sealed for a reason, but we are intent on capturing those who carried out this attack and we're going to stay on it until we get them," he said.

"We had a little delay because our Attorney General was...uh.. preoccupied for the past few months."

#2 Criminal charges? With Miranda Rights and CSI and trials and lawyers? Howzabout this: we find the people who did this, apparently not too difficult a task, and we whack them. And their accomplices, associates. and friends, if you want to make the point totally clear. That point being it is hazardous to your health to kill Americans. Let them hate, so long as they fear.

#3 Unless the "Sealed US Charges" contain the names of Champ, Poonetta, and the Hildebeast, I'm really not much interested.

#4 A man who uses Drone wack-a-slope daily with far less due process is bothering with lawfare when dealing with people who have actually demonstrated, not just a 'threat', homicidal behaviors. This is like OJ spending his 'free' time looking for the actual killers of Nicole and Ron.

#5 I saw something earlier today that suggests it is illegal to mention sealed charges unless in the process of executing them. For the Rantburg lawyers: Is this correct? Is the president exempt by virtue of his office?

#6 Supposedly it runs afoul of some federal law. Unfortunately, no one in our media seems to know what it is.

#7 While we're at it, what sort of 'reason' could there be for sealing the charges? So the bad guys don't know we have a warrant out for their arrest?

#8 Laws are for little people.

#9 Must be because Obama's college records are involved somehow. Why else seal them?

#10 The charges are sealed so that now the administration can avoid answering questions because of an ongoing investigation that they are not allowed to talk about.
